-No licence needed ?

In France, it's possible to drive a Jet Ski of a maximum power of 100 cv, on condition that the person is being supervised by a certified instructor that is registered with the Affaires Maritimes and the DRJSCP.
The instructor will be driving his own Jet, ready to intervene on another machine if needed to ;
Our certified and experienced team will go over the best practices and safety procedures whether you've already jet skied before or not. They will give a briefing of the rules before departure to which all participants must comply with.
Under safety protocols, the instructor car supervise up to 4 machines maximum, and cannot, in any circumstance, carry someone aboard his own Jet, in order to keep his movements free.
It's possible to pilot a Jet Ski starting from 16 years of age (reference age for boating permit), although we do require informed consent of a parent/ legal guardian for all minors aged between 16 and 18 years of age.

-Safety precautions and age requirements..

-The passenger must be at the least 7 years of age (clause imposed by insurances), but it's also important to examine the height and physical stature of the child. Because Jet Skis cause significant shaking, the child should be able to absorb the shocks by using the legs for stability, rather than the buttocks (dangerous for the spine). We prefer to check the child's grasp and stability on the engine prior to the departure. In general, most children taller than 1m35 (4ft5) meet these criteria.
-For the same reasons, jet skis are off limits for pregnant women.
-This activity is also not recommended to people experiencing back pains or any kind of physical injury. If you have undergone surgery within the past year, you should see with your health care practitioner to decide whether this activity is safe for you.

-When should you book ?

It's important to book your trip well in advance in order to select the date and time which is more convenient to you.
